There
is an element of the baseball community that says once a player has
the attention of the scouts, has his national ranking and has his
college commitment, there really isn’t any reason for him to hustle
around and play at national level events.

that is a very small element in the game at this level. The reality
is that baseball is a game of repetitions and learning, and the only
way you get better is by playing as often as possible against players
of your talent level or better.

path than Nicholas Gordon.
